Piping construction: Caterpillar D5C XL crawler tractor with side mounted pipe layer boom and Deere 200C crawler mounted hydraulic backhoe support large bore steel underground steel pipe in trench with pipe slings. Workers are happy to help hold pipe in position. Dixboro Bridge, Ann Arbor, 2004
Trench construction, safety: Caterpillar 3128 crawler mounted backhoe straddles trench for underground pipe. Worker in trench is fine grading/cleaning trench with shovel. Workers standing in 8 ft deep trench have no support against sidewall collapse. Safety and laws require the trench walls to be supported or sloped back at depths greater than 5 ft. Michigan 2006
Underground construction: Hyundai R55 crawler mounted hydraulic backhoe/excavator digs street drainage/ storm sewer trench.  Flexible corrugated sewer/ drainage tubing is coiled in trench. Sewer manhole structure is in foreground. Depot Street, Ann Arbor, 2004.
Link Belt LS-2800 crawler mounted hydraulic construction backhoe dumps bucket of soil from trench into bed of rear dump truck. Huron Village Shopping Center, Ann Arbor, 2003.
Earthmoving construction: Kobelco 907 LC-II crawler mounted, hydraulic backhoe excavator excavates bucket of earth to load International 7500 HT530 rear dump truck to haul earth away. Huron Parkway at Huron High School, Ann Arbor, Michigan August 2005.
Earthmoving construction: Bobcat 334 rubber-track hydraulic compact backhoe/ excavator with backfill blade. Young operator measures it out  in rotunda at annual Science of Big Machines exhibit by the northern Ohio construction industry at COSI, the Center for Science and Industry, Toledo, Ohio, June 2006.
Trench construction, safety: Caterpillar 3128 crawler mounted backhoe supports large pipe section/spool in trench in constructing underground pipe. The 8 ft deep trench is so deep that the two workers installing the pipe cannot be seen in this photo. The trench has no support against sidewall collapse. Trenches 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep or greater require a protective system unless the excavation is made entirely in stable rock, and this soil is not stable rock. Worker safety (and the law) also require that workers have easy, close exit from trenches, which pipes crossing the trench prevent. Michigan 2006
